Abnormal blood test results

Sonia32

Hello my semi colon family need some advice, had a fasting blood test done last week which included full blood count, liver etc. Today doctor's surgery rang they say my cholestral and liver are abnormal. Now when I took test last week I had been bitten by my dog so was on 625mg three times a day of co amoxiclav tablets. Last time I had an abnormal liver test was when I had thrush in my mouth last year during chemo, but my onc wasn't worried and repeated the test I was fine. I'm just wondering if it's the same case again, and I shouldn't freak out until bloods are taken again which will be today, and results come back, and yes I am thinking of the big c.

I know louanne, and Patti etc are going through a lot so I may sound over the top, but where else would I come but here to my family.
Hugs
Sonia

Hey Sonia!!
There is no such thing as "being over the top"..... and you bet your sweet bippie you better come here to your family for WHATEVER!! Like you said.... wait till you get another blood test and then compare notes. I now the FIRST thought is always the "C". That just sucks but it will probably never change. I have good vibes bout this so don't fret..... it's all good!

Sonia -


"Cholestatic jaundice can occur either during or shortly after the use of co-amoxiclav. "

Or just Google it: amoxiclav liver

All meds put a load on the liver and renal system, since the
liver and kidney's job is to remove whatever's toxic to
our bods... Too much of a load will result in conditions
that can be scary.... even more so, since many physicians
will not take the time to understand the ramifications of
the medications they are doling out.

Phooie on it all.

But don't worry, you'll be OK.

I agree
You should not feel bad coming here! I know Patti and Louann are going through some tough times but I think everyone here wants to help no matter what. It sounds like it could be from the amoxiclav. Yup, don't worry until you get the next set of results.

Hi Sonia,

Like others have already said, it very likely is the medication you're on. I'd definitely mention this to the doctor, and request to have them redone when that med is all out of your system. I believe you'll be fine!
You take care and rest easy!!

Hugs,
Lisa

Anti depressants
Sonia, you told us previously that you were taking meds for depression and/ or anxiety. Those meds can also affect your levels.

Agree that this is probably just all the meds overloading your liver.

Been to doctors
Well got dragged into surgery for nothing, they didn't take any blood as my veins are so thin and I was bruised from last week. They are going to measure my results with my oncologist results from last year. I'm 113/190 this was while I was taking antibiotics and anti depressants. So they will come back to me after they compare results. Hugs to you all for replying, and you see why I call you my second family, your all lovely, thank you.
